CUSTOM PROPERTIES - MASS

CUSTOM PROPERTIES - MASS

CUSTOM PROPERTIES - MASS

(OP)
The product I would like to have the 'mass properties' added too, has a wastage of 10%.

Is it possible to add this 10% to the 'overall mass' so this can be shown in the custom properties, and sub sequentially on the drawing?

RE: CUSTOM PROPERTIES - MASS

Method 1) Increase the material density by 10%.

Method 2) Create a DT, import the mass, adjust the mass by 10% and propagate it back to the model as a new property, then link that to a drawing annotation.

cheers

I have created a configuration... used the 'scale' feature using a 10% scale increase and linking the drawing to the new configuration, which has the 10% increase of weight I was looking for.
